Reminder that if you're feeling lonely today, see this hashtag:

There are lots of people (myself included) keeping each other company on there, with all kinds of posts from hot chocolate recipes to historical photos to horses covered in tinsel to just general thoughts and chatter.

You can use the hashtag however you want, serious or fun, and anyone using the tag is welcoming of replies and discussion so it's a great way of striking up a conversation.

See you there! ☃️

Also - it can help to understand what the feeling of loneliness is about.

In some ways that is obvious - loneliness is the want of company (the feeling of missing out, being left out, socially)

Loneliness is completely natural - though sometimes nature (our feelings) can be a little bit outdated. And with a little bit of insight - those feelings can be mitigated (updated)

Sometimes it only takes a small readjustment in thinking - to appreciate the company that everyone always has. Themselves.!

People can feel lonely in crowds of people. And that feeling can be mitigated if someone shows that person a friendly gesture.

Ask yourself this question - who knows you like no other?

You!

So - be kind to yourself & you will, in general, be kind to others also. Sometimes - good people choose to be alone because the "crowd" doesn't interest them. Other times - the "crowd" is more like them.

To quote "There are lots of people (myself included) keeping each other company on there"

And of course - mastodon is ideal for connecting people that share similar interests (social norms and values)

@feditips Anyone feeling lonely, remember, life isn’t static. Change is constant and we all go through many stages. I’m in middle life stage and feel like I have lived 10 lifetimes. So far away from the life at the time I thought was the one I was supposed to live. People I thought were forever friends, or my everything, I never even think about anymore. Don’t know how I ended up where I am. Things just kinda happen despite ourselves. Perhaps go listen to “Changes” by David Bowie :)

I made Cheesy Beer Bread last night! 🧀🍞🍅🌿
3 C self-rising flour
3 Tbsp sugar
Optional: handful of sharp shredded cheese and savory herbs, to taste
12 oz room temp beer (not porter or stout)
Mix together and spread into a well-greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
*****
To make your own self-rising flour, combine:
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
(So triple these measurements if using in the beer bread recipe.)
